  4. SELECTING A CAREER 7.02. TOPICS COVERED IN THIS PRESENTATION: Nonmanual employee – an associate that does not physically laborious. Occupational gender segregation (gender stereotype)– separation of jobs into stereotypical genderized categories. “Plumber gene” - non scientific term for a continuous inheritance of family business. Stereotype threat – Parents beliefs and children's confidence / views are correlated. Vocational interests- personal attitudes, competencies, and values relevant to occupational qualities. (Basis to Holland’s theory of career selection).

  5. SELECTING A CAREER “Not one big decision” • 5-6 before age 25. (Bjorklund, 2016). • Average number of jobs M&F from the years of age 18-46 is 11. (Bjorklund, 2016). • My own resume at 29? 15!

  6. SELECTING A CAREER(John Holland, 1958, 1997) • 6 BASIC VOCATIONAL INTERESTS: • Social – Like to work with people. Tactful. • Investigative – Investigating / problem solving. Analytical. • Realistic – Work with hands and tools. Self reliant. • Enterprising –Like to be influenced, managed or leading them. Ambitious. • Artistic – Innovating, imagining, work with mind. Originality. • Conventional – work with words and numbers. Systemized. • (SIREAC) Circa 1950’s

  7. SELECTING A CAREER – {Part of Identity} The4 StagesJames E. Marcia (1966, 1980). Extension of Erikson’s theory of Psychosocial Development- • Diffusion – (Young people) undecided on career; no interest in pondering this subject. • Foreclosure {Stages} - a career chosen without much thought. Options closed off; expectations. No commitment. • Moratorium – Involves a large amount of exploration of possible careers with no commitment. • Achievement – (Young people) –explored possibilities for careers, and has made a commitment to one. Reached – Philosophized to not be reached (Moratorium Stage) until the 30’s Work changes are a definite and definitive part of adult life. Adjustment is necessary / stressful. Lyubomir Sergeevphotography

  8. SELECTING A CAREER – {Part of Identity} Occupational gender segregation – separation of jobs into stereotypical male and female categories. -Mechanics -Zoo keepers -Pilots -Nurses -Tellers - Ticket salesmen - Soldiers • Comes from unspoken pressures to conform to what is seen around you. • Prime reasoning behind woman’s lower lifetime earnings.

  9. SELECTING A CAREER – EFFECTS OF GENDER A+ STUDENT HERE BACK OFF WOMEN • Women– 45% of labor • Women – 66% minimum wage & Lower • Women – “Pink Collered” jobs – secretary, clerical jobs, retail positions, service jobs. • Women – More likely to be teachers and nurses. • Women – More intersted in working with people (Su, Rounds, Armstrong, 2009) • Women – {Holland’s} Social Factors: Investigative, artistic, social, conventional MEN • Man – higher in Status & Income • Man - Mathematics , physical science, Engineering • Man – More intersted in working with things. (Su, Rounds, Armstrong, 2009) • Man – {Holland} Realistic factors, Enterprising.

  10. FAMILY INFLUENCE PARENTS: MARITAL STATUS 7.2.3 “A NUMBER OF STUDIES” SHOW: • Single parents do not provide same level of encouragement • Financial support • Young people in stepfamilies (same affect) • “Reconstituted family” – a family that is built with stepparents but latter birthing biological children. • Less likely to receive financial support. CONCLUSION: Why is this? 1. Differing “contact” and closeness with the children 2. Child Support and financing 3. “Indirect punishment” of spouses fighting (No financial aid for school because of lessening a burden on the other parent)

  11. FAMILY INFLUENCE 7.2.3 WORKING MOTHERS: • (Beal, 1994) Young women have more hope and self esteem in their higher educational goals and aspirations than did their mothers (working mothers). • Mother’s Stereotype: • e.g. ‘girls are not as good at math as boys”, produce daughters whose math performance is lowered when reminded of their gender. • Same demonstration showed girls as young as 5 years old began to learn by environment: attitudes about what “girls and boys are good at” separately. • Sharing concept with the older adult cohort of stereotype threat. (from chapter 4) Tomasetto, Alarone, Cadinu, 2011

  12. THE ROLE OF GENETICS • Career choice could originate from genetics • Examples of this in the class? • “Plumbing gene” – career field / co. bequeathed ; Ericksen, Schultehiss • Lichtentien, Hershberger, Pederson, 1995 {SWEDEN} • Gathered occupational histories of 118 pairs of {Male} monozygotic (identical) twins (26-87 aged) 5 categories • 1. Unskilled / semiskilled worker • 2. Skilled worker • 3. Assistant nonmanual labor employee (minimal labor duties) • 4. Intermediate nonmanual employees • 5. Employed / Self employed; Higher Civil servants 7.2.4

  13. THE ROLE OF GENETICS 7.2.4 • FOUND: High chance / high correlation that these twins shared the same “rank”; occupational authority. • (Genetic influence) • FOUND: Females : Cohorts, females stricken to certain jobs. • (Environmental) • FOUND: Younger women more apt to show the “male” pattern of genetic influence. • THEORY: This leads to a similar theory that making higher education of equal access would result in genetic influences. • Lichtentien, Hershberger, Pederson, 1995 {SWEDEN}
